He’s won it all with München and, at 29, may decide it’s time for a new challenge away from Germany. German players generally travel well and some like to test themselves in different leagues.

With the reports of Manchester United’s potential interest the club has been installed as favourites with Skybet to sign Schweinsteiger up this summer. At odds of 3/1 to join Manchester United before the window closes The Red Devils are well clear of the rest in terms of the bookie’s feelings about a potential transfer.

Even at his age the German has so much to offer a Manchester United side that is desperately in need of a personality in the centre of the park. Schweinsteiger wouldn’t just bring great experience and nous to the engine room either. He’s also someone who can score goals – 40 for Bayern and 23 for Germany in over 100 caps.

If he could play for another couple of years at the top he might offer Manchester United the best possible short-term route back to the top of the league.

Don’t want to get my hopes up, would love to see him at Man United, could care less about his age, he would be a brilliant signing for what he does in the middle of the park, his instinct and positioning is some of the best I’ve ever seen. With some of our youngsters with potential in the academy that want to play central midfield he would be the perfect player for them to look to.

it would be greatful to us fans of united if we could be able to sign players who are very potential and bring back the value of the club. we need best midfielders such bastian, kroos, vidal. but players such as cleverly should leave but under conditions that would benefut the later when in of them like how we let pobga go. but plz and plz van gaal dont sell kagawa and mata. they are very potential and we need them to build back our team.

Us fans of Manchester united we need key players special Middlefield and defense. So please LVD Please bring back the value of our team and smile to our faces. Last season we were very disappointed special the home games.
